sewing project 1

card art converted to fabric!

I also made little matchbook covers from old Christmas cards 

people seem to like them and they are great little gifts

Rosie
new addition to the family, she's 14 and prefers sleeping more than anything

my first tree in about 4 years
I just go outside my door, turn right, and cut one

there's the Christmas tree field to the left

just like Mom used to make every Christmas

yum! some of these are from the frozen cookie party dough

a hit at the Jensen family Christmas

sewing project 2

artist apron for Linsey, in this case, a cocktail artisan

sewing project 3 for my sushi loving girlfriend

little sour cream coffee cakes in cute baking jackets found at the beach 

great brunch on Christmas day with Erik and Annie
aebleskiver with apricot jam, hash with tomato jam, seeded biscuits, shitake mushroom gravy,
deviled eggs, crockpot applesauce with cranberries and giant raisins, and orange julius
and that was just to kick-start the day :)

I hope your Christmas was as wonderful as mine was, filled with family and friendship,
and that 2012, at the very least, fulfills your best expectations...Happy New Year
